I’m gonna go with NO! Slightly more thoughtful than Dane Cook but her delivery is terrible on her not very funny “jokes.”

If you want some lauphs check out Louis CK! Margaret and Dane Cook are just flat out gay.

That’s funny considering Margaret cho was named in that sentence… we had a stand up comedian thread a while ago but I thought I would poll (No pun intended i woudn’t fuck her with a stolen dick!) cho specifically. and yes cook is stupid as shit but his agent kicks ass cause he’s great in his movie rolls. Mr. Brooks he was great, he was hysterical in my best friend’s girl

[reply] Mr. Brooks he was great
That was a good movie for everyone involved, I am normally lukewarm to Kevin ( I have a brother…) Kostner’s acting but that one was great. I also liked Waiting which Dane Cook was pretty funny in, otherwise I can’t stand the guy.
I haven’t watched any of Margaret Cho’s stand up in years so I cannot comment one away or another on her.

I didn’t watch “Waiting” cause we eat out quite a bit and I’ve never worked in a restaraunt so i don’t know the “pranks” and I’d rather not know what has been done to my food! unless the waitress is laughing as she’s serving my food or hangs around the table an unusually long time just watching me eat, then everything is all good, and I’d like to keep it that way! besides I make a point to be a polite, low maintence customer so hopefully I’m safe.

Margaret CNO.
Dane cook is known (amungst comedians) for being a joke thief. Cho’s jokes sometimes are funny, but in small doses as the oriental mother impressions get kinda old.
Louis CK’s tv show was a thing of marvel… hbo dropped the ball cancelling that one

Cook’s not even a good thief then! If he’s gonna steal he needs to steal better jokes. “his” funniest joke to date is the kool aid man busting walls and his dad getting pissed!
I almost made it through Cho’s oct. 2008 special last night on showtime. she didn’t do too much of the korean mom but oh boy was she eager to talk about her bi sexualness. and sex in comedy routines is usually pretty funny but she wasn’t, she was more about the “shock” which is weird cause I’d be willing to bet the majority of her audience is gay so then I guess her routine isn’t really shock it’s more like pandering.
I’m sure I’ve seen lois ck but i can’t place him at the moment.
edit: Oh yeah! Louis ck, he is funny i think he has the bit about how his 3 year old saw a “little person” come out of the bathroom, at a fast food place. And so His 3 year old pointed and yelled out “WHAT IS THAT???” to hear him tell it was crazy funny! My wife and I were crying we were laughing so hard.

Margaret Cho has an amazing distinction for being a total slut, which is something she doesn’t really hide. She’s a major fan of adult entertainers, and has no shame for fucking women, men, anything goes…she even does anal.
She’ll freely admit it too, so this isn’t rumor.

that was “mentioned” in her act… Ok that was her act!
…so this isn’t rumor.
it’s not comedy either.

Haha grmpy, now you remember Louis CK. He’s funny as fuck huh? I saw him on showtime a few months ago, he said something funny I cant remember it entirely but he said something about a deer hitting his car smashing his windshield yelling at the poor half dead fucking deer “I hope your deer wife dies!!!”, " You broke my windshield you faggot cunt nigger deer!!!"
I love standup. I feel lucky - I have seen many, locally, for a few years now. Love it.
Sarah Silverman, Todd Barry, Eugene Mirman, good stuff…
Sarah Silverman…
BLECK!! she’s the female version of Dane Cook! Not funny, unoriginal. and just like Cook the only reason she has a career is because she is attractive, end of story! the only joke silverman has is the fact that she thinks she’s funny! I wait for the day her stupid show is cancelled.

Anybody here listen to Opie and Anthony? They did this traveling virus tour a few years in a row of top of the line comedians like sagat, ck, patrice oniel, jin norton, Bill Burr, etc. if they’re on in your area or you have satellite radio i’d give them a listen. Unlike howard and most hockey hacks on the morning drive these guys are actually funny
ck, patrice oniel, jin norton,
THese guys are the real deal! Norton and Oniel were the only good things about that stupid “Tough crowd with colin quinn” show on Comedy cnetral. Another NO TALENT HACK how the hell colin quinn get a show? not only is he not funny he makes me angry as a matter of fact that makes him the anti comic! He’s worse than cook and silverman at least cook and silverman has made me at least chuckle after a couple of hours! Quinn makes me wanna punch a baby in the face he’s so not funny!

Colin is best at stand-up, but honestly his Tough Crowd show was like Seinfeld - the supporting cast was always funnier than him. Trust me, see his act and he’s good.
I don’t get the connection between Dane and Sarah…Dane has a knack for incorporating way too many pop culture references in his act, post-1980’s and up so of course you know who his target audience is. And it’s just annoying. I can’t see that with her – she is juvenile but she at least doesn’t hit that level where she has to throw in some reference to He-Man or Soundgarden or some other stupid shit.

It has more to do with their delivery and their jokes (Or rather lack of ) they are both simply not funny to me and it irritates me that other people find them funny.
Sarah silverman joke: I’m gonna marry my dog and I’m jewish! hahaha see how cutesy i am.
Dane cook joke: I’m a guy and i drink beer haha haha and when i drink too much beer i fall down and bang my head on the counter haha haha.
what assholes!! I find myself asking others (with cook especially) was there a punchline in there somewhere? Why are people laughing? where was the funny?
As far as Colin quinn goes i got roughly 25 years of seeing that asshole on tv that says he’s NOT funny. He has never not once in the history of my life made me laugh. stupid on “remote control” (and that’s back when i was like 9 years old) stupid on snl, beyond stupid on his show!! fuck that guy!! where’s a baby?? I’m gonna punch that little fucker!

On the bright side, Dane Cook lost millions of dollars when his business manager brother absconded with it.

So just because you don’t like someone and they are (admittedly) kind of a douche, you think it’s a good thing that they had millions of dollars stolen from them which they rightfully earned?
I don’t like Dane Cook but it seems to me he is talented even if his humor is of the dimwitted, straight laced, everyman “bro” variety.I just get rubbed the wrong way when we mock and celebrate the misfortunes of people who are talented and doing something extraordinary with their livess.
Then again I guess I’m as guilty of it as the next guy so this point was probably a waste of digital breath eh?
Dane has fame and, well, he deserves it, because he is not my cup of tea but I certainly see how he strikes a chord with others. He also was pretty much one of the first to incorporate and communicate socially with the world via the Web around the early millennium through his web site.
